As Larry King Law’s Langley Speedway enters its 70th season of racing in 2020, track officials have announced a new addition for the Hampton, Virginia-based motorsports facility.

Vaughan Crittenden has been named the stock car racing track’s promoter and general manager, as announced by Track Owner Bill Mullis.

Crittenden, 28, is among the youngest to serve in this role in the NASCAR Roots Division and succeeds Chuck Hall, who will remain a part of the speedway team.

“Vaughan is like a racehorse,” Mullis said of Crittenden, who has served as the track’s Director of Media since 2013. “We just need to saddle him up and let him loose.”

With experience in digital video and media, Crittenden joined the Richmond Raceway team as its Manager of Communication. In that role, he worked closely with the marketing teams at the Daytona 500, Talladega Superspeedway and Martinsville Speedway, as well as consulted with professional athletes and their public relations teams on promoting upcoming events.

“We have a great opportunity here and now to grow Langley Speedway’s presence nationwide, while also developing stronger connections and partnerships throughout the community and state,” Crittenden said.

Langley Speedway’s racing season officially kicks off on March 28 and its annual Day of Destruction—a demolition derby event—will be held on March 7.
